The killers of Yorba Linda teen-ager Chad MacDonald called him "a (expletive) narc" and made racial slurs while beating the youth at a Norwalk drug house, the family's lawyer said Friday after reading Brea police reports. Attorney Lloyd Charton said the information - from a witness to MacDonald's killing - was contained in 97 pages of police reports released Friday to the 17-year-old's mother. Charton refused to give the documents to the media, despite permission from a juvenile court judge and police allegations that he was releasing only items favorable to his side. Charton said at a news conference in Santa Ana that the documents also disclose that a student told Brea police after MacDonald's body was found March 3 that she had been warned to stay away from him because he had fingered a separate Orange County methamphetamine lab and something bad was going to happen. The reports also said, according to Charton, that an Orange County prosecutor told MacDonald on Feb. 19 that drug charges against him would be dismissed if he completed one last undercover buy. Assistant District Attorney John Conley said he was prohibited by laws that protect juvenile privacy from confirming or denying the allegation. Charton said records showed that MacDonald made one supervised buy as a drug informant, gave information to police that led to the shutdown of a meth lab and bought drugs on one occasion without police authorization. Brea Police Chief William Lentini said Charton's information was slanted, inaccurate and incomplete. "He's releasing stuff piece-meal," Lentini said. He said information in the reports indicated that MacDonald was killed for other reasons and not because he had been a police informant, but that he, too, was precluded from commenting at length. Lentini has said from the beginning that MacDonald wasn't working for Brea when he went to the Norwalk home.
